«Antígona» is the play by Salvador Espriu published by Edicions 62 in paperback (80 pages, in Catalan).
Based on the classical myth, the play offers a reading of the fratricidal struggle between the two Spains during the Civil War. Espriu gives voice to the reasons and motivations of each side, so that the action admits several interpretations; in that conflict, Antigone is an innocent victim moved solely by love.
The work, written in 1939, was originally published in 1955. The 1990 Catalan edition belongs to the El Garbell collection and includes an introductory study by Alfred Badia.
A work for readers of Catalan literature and theatre, with also school interest for its recreation of the Greek myth of Antigone.
Salvador Espriu i Castelló was a Catalan poet from Spain.
